Unable to update Nuget Package for JQuery

Question

I have a project in VS 2010 and using Visual Source Safe 2005 for source control system. Whenever I try to update my NuGet Package. It shows "Installed" but, there are a lot of red color lines that appear and go as Nuget is isntalling packages.

I assume the installation is not correct for this. Can anybody help on this?

It looks like it's failing to uninstall a previous version of jquery ui because it has been modified from the original.

Try manually delete all the jquery files and remove the package node from the packages.config in the project file.

Because you want to keep your custom jquery ui, but appear to either upgrading all packages or upgrading a package with a dependency on a newer version of jquery you are getting these errors.

If you are just trying to update all packages, and don't have any that rely on jquery ui I would remove it from the packages.config. The files will still be there but no longer managed by NuGet.

If you are trying to upgrade a specific package that has a higher jquery ui dependency, then you can fake that the higher version is installed by editing the config, however the dependency is probably there for a reason and I wouldn't recommend doing this.
